WIN LIMITED EDITION THE GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING ARTWORK REPRODUCED WITH BIC® CRISTAL®

Published: 14 April, 2010

BiC is giving away an amazing limited edition reproduced print of The Girl with A Pearl Earring created using a BiC® Cristal® pen - plus a load of BiC goodies - as part of a national challenge for consumers to finish their BIC^® Cristal^®pen. Any empty pens will receive £10 back*.

The challenge comes on the back of independent research by the University of Reading that reveals a BIC^® Cristal^®pen can write the equivalent of a whopping 1,615 addresses, 1,475 Christmas cards, and 986 Sudoku puzzles –before it runs out of ink.

The reproduction of The Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer, took artist James Mylne approx 90 hours to complete, but thanks to the long life of the BIC^® Cristal^®, just a single pen was needed to finish the work.

One lucky winner will win this limited edition print plus a load of BiC goodies and one runner up will win a set of BiC goodies.

For a chance to win answer the following question:

How many Sudoku puzzles can a single BiC® Cristal® complete?
